WHEREAS, Family farmers and ranchers across California steward millions of acres of working lands that provide food, fiber, wildlife habitat, and open space for future generations; and

WHEREAS, Agritourism, activities that invite the public onto farms, ranches, and agricultural operations for educational, recreational, and cultural experiences, strengthen the connection between consumers and the agricultural producers who grow their food; and

WHEREAS, Agritourism activities, such as farm tours, harvest festivals, farm stays, pumpkin patches, u-pick operations, farmers’ markets, and agricultural education programs, help Californians better understand where their food comes from and the hard work required to produce it; and

WHEREAS, These activities also provide farmers and ranchers with opportunities to diversify their income, helping sustain family farms and rural economies in the face of rising costs, drought, regulatory burdens, and market volatility; and

WHEREAS, Rural communities throughout California benefit from agritourism through increased visitation, local spending, and support for small businesses; and

WHEREAS, Agritourism plays an important role in educating young people about agriculture, natural resources, conservation, and the importance of preserving California’s agricultural heritage; and

WHEREAS, World Agritourism Day is celebrated internationally to highlight the value of agritourism in supporting farmers, strengthening rural communities, and promoting sustainable agricultural practices;

now, therefore,

be it Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate thereof concurring, That the Legislature recognizes May 16, 2026, as World Agritourism Day and encourages all Californians to visit local farms and ranches, support agricultural producers, and learn more about the vital role agriculture plays in our state; and be it further Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
